It will be OK if you replace with the same brand and style of tire.

LOL....so maybe this will help. Try using agile methodologies and think of the need to change the tire as a theme, then break each step down into sprints. It will make each task seem less daunting and you will reduce your potential for defects

But don't these campers come with no name "Ed's" tires? Will a tire shop actually carry them?

LOL! That's exactly how I built a pair of kayaks a few years ago.

I have about 4 fingers of clearance before I bottom out the front tire - maybe 2-3". I should have room to go a little higher and I do have a few 2x10s.

Shouldn't be a problem, the suspension is probably at it's limit or very close to it and you have plenty of clearance. AGAIN, break the lug nuts loose before you get it in the air.

Back up or pull forward a little more and try to get the wheel that is on the ground as close to the blocks as possible. I am pretty impressed that you got it up on those blocks without a ramp. Or did you drive it forward and off the blocks?

Understood about the lug nuts. I had that epiphany this morning laying in bed. I was thinking of making sure I can get it airborne and then lowering it back down to the ground before doing the lug nuts just to prove that I'll be able to get it there. Then getting it down, breaking the lug nuts loose and re-raising it. Extra work, for sure- just a bit chicken since I've never done anything like this before (literally never even changed a car tire). This may be a bad idea as the lynx levelers shot forward when I backed off of them last time.
Is it ok to pull forward/backup with the lug nuts broken loose? (Not driving it- just 6-8 feet in either direction.)

Broken loose, yes.

Ramp. I backed up the ramp and then off of it with the rear tire.
They launched forward pretty good when the front tire went off the back of them.

Ha! I'm first focused on getting the (happy word) tire off first! But- good idea.

That's backwards of what I would have done, I would put the ramp in front of the front tire and driven forward and removed some before the rear hit them. But you got it accomplished.

The spare is on. I had to bleed air out of it to get it spinning freely. Torqued everything to 100-pounds (foot-pound or pound-foot ).
Now to find me a new tire and do this all over again!
